Public consultation launched for major 758-apartment development
A public consultation has been launched for a new development proposal in Ancoats that would deliver 758 apartments.
The site is currently occupied by Stockton’s Furniture Store, located at the junction of Store Street and Great Ancoats Street.
The consultation is running from October 28, to Monday, November 11, 2024.
The proposed development aims to transform the area with the construction of apartments spread across two impressive buildings, which combined comprise 67 floors.
The project also includes significant public realm improvements, covering 55% of the site area, and the addition of 45,000 sq ft of new commercial space.
The development, proposed by investors Liquid Funding Business alongside Cityside, is designed to meet the growing demand for residential and commercial spaces in Ancoats, while also enhancing the local community with improved public areas and amenities.
Daniel Green, from Liquid Funding Business, said: “We are thrilled to present our vision for the future of Ancoats.
“This development represents a significant investment in the area, providing much needed housing and commercial opportunities while enhancing the public realm.”
He added: “Our development will complement the proposals for Central Retail Park as well as set the standard for future developments coming forward in the area.
“We encourage the community to participate in the consultation process and share their valuable insights to help us create a development that truly reflects the needs and aspirations of Ancoats.”
